 shell type

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

See title; In sh-script.el, line ~1631

>    (cond ((save-excursion
>            (goto-char (point-min))
>           (looking-at "#![ \t]?\\([^ \t\n]*/bin/env[ \t]\\)?\\([^
\t\n]+\\)"))

This appears to duplicate auto-mode-interpreter-regexp in files.el, line
~2593:

> (defvar auto-mode-interpreter-regexp
>  (purecopy "#![ \t]?\\([^ \t\n]*\
/bin/env[ \t]\\)?\\([^ \t\n]+\\)")

This duplication makes it difficult to customize
auto-mode-interpreter-regexp. A discrepancy will cause the wrong shell type
(bash, ksh, csh, ...) to be selected.
